The other day, Zach and I scanned his books together. Quite refreshing that the
fonts are bigger than the books that I usually read. I'm glad I won't have to wear
eyeglasses every time we study his lessons.
Zach was interested with the Reading, Language, Math and Science books. I think,
we'll have a problem with Filipino and Sibika subjects. I let him try to read his
Filipino books and I tried very hard not to laugh as he read. So slang. I taught him
the Filipino translations for the different kinds of shapes, colors and adjectives.
I translate instructions and passages in English so he would also understand. Later
on, he mentioned that he doesn't like the books which are in Filipino. Now I know
the Filipino subjects will be the challenging ones for him...and me too. Coz I always
need to translate everything in English. But I guess it will only be for the start.
I'm excited already for the start of Zach's regular classes on Monday. Even more
excited than him hehe :D

I have a friend, her daughter 10 years old today speaks, Cantonese, English, Malay, Mandarin, French and switches languages like no tomorrow.
Toronto has 127 different nationalities, and thus the schools a mosaic of colours of students from different countries.
I myself can let go, ha ha, some Albanian, Greek, Spanish, Russian, French, Japanese and Mandarin....I love foreign languages.
Glad you having fun with your kid....
